Critically review the evidence supporting Schneider & Shiffrin’s model of automation and evaluate the extent to which it explains evidence from studies of divided attention.

In everyday speech we use the word attention to include several kinds of mental activity. Psychologists also use the word in many different contexts. Attention can refer to the kind of concentration on a mental task in which you select certain kinds of perceptual stimuli for further processing, while trying to exclude other interfering stimuli (Shapiro, 1994). For example, when you take a written examination you concentrate on the visual stimuli contained in the exam, excluding other sensory information, such as the many small movements in your peripheral vision from fellow students and many other insignificant sounds and smells in the room.

Attention can also refer to being prepared to receive further information. For instance, being told to pay particular attention to an important announcement. Attention is an ongoing mental process and is applied to so many everyday contexts that is it difficult to define the lines between the different kinds of attention which occur. Using the exam as an example again, you may think that you are concentrating solely on the written text on the page but surely it is not possible to exclude all the unwanted stimuli which is present in the room, such as other students asking to go to the toilet or opening a drink or coughing etc. It may be our best intention to concentrate on the one task that is our goal to complete but how can we physically ignore so many other stimuli? I will look at some models of attention and evaluate the evidence from studies of these models to better understand the concept of attention and the divisions within it. I also intend to answer some basic questions such as, why can we do some tasks simultaneously but not other? And, is attention capacity fixed?

Real/ Physical Evidence
Real or physical evidence is evidence that can be addressed to the court directly without any interposing of a testimony of witness other than what is required of the basis for such evidence. Real evidence and physical evidence is basically the same thing physical evidence is just object that has been involved in the actual crime scene or took place and played some type of part in it. But when it comes to real evidence it basically fits into two categories such as demonstrative evidence and real evidence. The different between what brings physical evidence into demonstrative and real evidence is real evidence represent or involved the production of some sort of object. The object had to have some huge part in whatever that took place which has to include some exhibition of different injured on the body such as demonstrative evidencewhich is some type of way has no value within itself to stand up in the courtroom but through its visual aids like models, maps, photograph can help the jury or judge get a better understanding of the testimony of the witness .
Demonstrative evidence is just a way to engage into the courtroom to let...

...Development of Skills
Within the group, a large amount of skills were used. The majority of the group used listening skills, closed and open questioning skills. Opportunities were available where Probing and reflecting could have been put to practise. Other members of the group displayed passive aggressive behaviours , dictated, used aggressive and bullying body / verbal language and actions. In my opinion the members of the group displaying these undesirable traits were not aware they were doing so. Eleni was the most diplomatic member of the group and quashed frustrations which arose between individuals. Too many of the group members were too passive and allowed themselves to be dictated too.
I felt I exercised great restrain throughout many of the sessions where a few individuals were concerned. My listening skills and observation skills were used
Working in a team
The preliminary meetings preparing for the mock trial could have and should have been more productive than they were. I have been involved in group work many times and in different areas throughout my teenage and adult life, in academic and work related environments. knowing I would be viewed as an outsider, I decided, before starting back on the course to keep my distance and watch how the group interacted due to the dynamics as a whole being established for over a year. However, the majority made me feel welcome. Originally, when I joined the group, I found it refreshing that all...

...exclusionary rule in relation to unconstitutionally obtained evidence
The exclusionary rule is the rule that defines the circumstances in which a court will exclude evidence on the grounds that it has been obtained in violation of the accused’s constitutional rights.
Traditionally the common law did not have an exclusionary rule. The court allowed evidence to be admitted that had been obtained through the use of illegal means, for example, searching a dwelling without a search warrant, any evidence obtained is an illegal evidence, but this was allowed provided the evidence was admissible and relevant to the case. This practice was changed in the case of people v O’brien , in this case, two brothers challenged the admissibility of evidence found in the family home, this was due to the fact that the warrant used to obtain the evidence was flawed and it had an error in the address written on it. The trial judge Walsh J took the view that the error on the warrant was accidental and there had been no deliberate or conscious breach of the accused rights, the evidence was held admissible. Walsh j went on to outline the criteria for admissibility of evidence; where there has been a conscious and deliberate breach of the accused rights there must be an extraordinary excusatory circumstance to allow this...

...“When I called the E.P.A. and asked if the agency had tested my Bt potatoes for safety as a human food, the answer was . . . not exactly. It seems the E.P.A. works from the assumption that if the original potato is safe and the Bt protein added to it is safe, then the whole New Leaf package is safe . . . the original potato is safe, so that left the Bt toxin, which was fed to mice, and they ‘did fine, had no side affects’”.
Pollan here implies that it is unknown whether or not these foods are safe. The fact that these products were tested on mice does not mean that they are safe for people. Maybe genetically engineered food does not harm people in any way, but no one knows for sure. It is impossible to predict the impact of genetically engineered food; it is a matter of waiting for and observing future consequences.
Genetically modified food farmers, such as Dan Forsythe and Steve Young, all agree that this new gene technology will supply plentiful amounts of food, but they themselves would not eat these foods. Forsythe says, when asked about the agricultural chemicals used in his crops, “None of us would use them if we had any choice.” This, to me, shows how much more profit driven than science driven this new technology is. Biotechnology companies like Monsanto will concentrate power into the hands of a few, which in turn will enhance farmers’ dependence and force them to pay inflated prices for seed-chemical packages.

Question
‘There is absolutely no difference in approach to illegally obtained evidence among England, U.S and Kenya.’
Required
With close reference to case law (and statute law as appropriate) criticallyevaluate this averment clearly satisfying whether or not you agree with it.
Evidencewhich is obtained by means or acts which are illegal or against the law is said to be obtained illegally. Some of the common examples of illegally obtained evidence are such evidence obtained in violation of the constitution and in breach of other statutes.
A common way in whichevidence is obtained illegally is through illegal searches and illegal seizures e.g. breaking into somebody’s house and obtaining evidence, through deception, threats, bribes inducement or trickery.
The issue has to be looked at in two ways
1. Section 20 of Police Act
2. Section 118 of Criminal Procedure Code
Section 20 of the Police Act empowers police officers investigating offences to search any place that they believe has material necessary for the purposes of the investigation. The requirement to get a search warrant may be dispensed with in instances where a police officer believes that the process of getting the warrant is going to cause unreasonable delay. In these instances what is required is that the officer should record in writing...
